The kindness of strangers: when I left my card in an ATM in Argentina, a Dutch guy found it and saved my trip
Briefly

During a tiring solo trip in Argentina, the author mistakenly left behind their bank card after an ATM transaction. A kind Dutch man, Bart, noticed the mistake and returned the card, despite the author being in the middle of the street. Grateful and emotional, the author attempted to offer a reward, which Bart politely declined. The next day, the author spotted Bart at the Perito Moreno Glacier, shared a beer with him, and expressed their appreciation, highlighting how small acts of kindness can significantly affect lives, especially when traveling alone.
In that moment of panic, a stranger's act of kindness saved me. I learned how small gestures can have a profound impact on others' lives.
Bart thought returning my card was no big deal, but he was important to me, showing how one act of kindness can make a massive difference.
